Anyone know the filename and loacation of the SMS sent notification sound, Iv had the same sound for the last 3 phone's and I think its time for a change!
Can it be changed?
where is its location?
do I have to do anything to the registery or just change the filename?
Thanks in advance
Edit:
I just figured out how to change the notification sound for the people who get it!
First download totalcmd "this allows you to replace files in use in the windows dir"
get your .wav or .wma file.. call it notify.wav (sometimes notify.wma)
Use totalcmd to replace the one in the windows directory with the one you created!
Cant belive it was that simple
Total commander link : HERE
Sorry misread your problem......
All you have to do is copy and paste the sound file you want into your windows folder (root) on you internal storage then go settings>sounds click notifications then hit drop down box until sms received etc then click on sound drop down find your sound file and click whatever you want it to do vibrate flash etc the click ok.......and as Gordon Ramsey says done
thx I was wondering why it didn't show my music files when I changed the sms sound. any restrictions to the format (mp3, wma, ...)?
So doesnt anyone know how to do this?
They are in the Windows folder, restricted to wma.

You have missread like eveyone else! im looking for the tone that plays when you SEND an SMS not when you get an sms
Mine doesn't make any sound when I send an SMS.
I wish it did, or at least give some notification that the message has been sent.
My TyTNII made a sound and displayed an on screen notification. The Leo seems to do neither.

I get both and I like having the notification I just want to change the sound because after 4 years of a really loud "duduling" it gets a little annoying
I did have a rom once on my Kaiser that had a diffrent sound but cant find how to change it anywhere!!!
Did you do anything to set up these notifications, or was it like that 'out of the box'?
I would really like to get them working on mine but failed so far. I've tried Advanced config and managed to get one notification, but since then nothing
Cheers
You get a sound when you SEND a SMS??
As above I get nothing what so ever, when I first got the phone I sent the same message 3 time before I realised it had actually sent!! lol
Another annoying 'feature'......

Does your Leo have an O2 branded ROM?
I wonder if they tweaked the notification bit before they released it.
I got mine SIM free, so it's a vanilla HTC ROM.
Mines unbranded SIM free, so shouldnt be tampered with!

I'll have a dig around the registry and see if I can find anything relevant.
Also trying to create a new folder in SMS. Again easy on my TyTNII but not so easy on the Leo.
I'm not so keen on the HTC messaging app so far.
If you want a delivery report...
Go into ALL MESSAGES when on the SMS tab , then MENU > SETTINGS > OPTIONS and check the box "Request Delivery Report".
Yeah but then every other message in your inbox is a DR!!!
We want a sent confirmation sound/pop up, and I want DR's that dont require opening, and have their own folder........... like a Nokia for example.
Wasn't this a Registry hack on the other WM phones. I remember having to check a box in a config app to get my HD to do this.

Yeah it was a registry setting.
If I remember correctly it was;
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg
I have that set, but the Leo uses the HTC messaging app, so it doesn't work...
it works however if you disable htc messaging app. thanks for the tip.

Every time i send a text message i get a bell and a box come up telling me my remaining credit. This is all very well but i cannot silence this bell. Even if i turn all the volume sliders onto silent and uncheck the play sounds boxes in the sounds settings.
anyone help me get rid of this ?
thanks.
malty
proud new owner of o2 xda mini s
anyone help with this ? i thought i must be able to just delete the wav it uses (notify.wav) but its in the rom and doesnt go.
It's really annoying that even with the vol sliders all the way down and the sound unchecked this sound STILL plays
anyone help ? please !!
I had the same problem with the message sent sound, it really got on my nerves! Just create a silent wav sound in Nero wave editor or a similar application and then transfer it to your wizard's windows directory to overwrite the existing one. sorted!
tried that, i created another notify.wav but cos the original is in rom it wont let me overwrite
ok following a recommendation to use total commander to do the copying, i did, and it worked.
Not sure how, as the original file is a read only file in ROM but nevertheless it worked. Windows explorer using the pc to browse/copy whilst synced wouldnt do it.
Cheers,
malty
Hi,
I've just got an XDA mini S on O2. Despite the check box in the messages section being unchecked, the sound being entirely off or on vibrate and the setting in sounds and notifications being left off, I still get the really irritating SMS sent message and ring tone. I don't mind the pop up but I want the phone to actually be silent when I tell it to be. I've tried the Reg changes using Total Commander - both SMSNoSentMsg and SMSDisableNotification neither seem to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is driving me mad.
Thanks

I'm not sure what version of Windows Mobile you are using on your device, but there is a way to correct this in WM6. Download and install the program I have attached below and then configure it however you like.
It is called Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool. It will allow you change a number of settings including the Message Sent notification.
This should work for you. Good luck!
Dan.
its wm5. the latest from O2.
Would that tool work in wm5?
To tell you the truth, I don't know. I have never tried it on WM5.
The only thing I could really tell you is to give it a try and if it didn't work then what do you have to lose? If it doesn't work then just un-install it.
I tried it and it didn't work.
Thoroughly annoying.

Hmmm... I don't know any other way. Sorry man. Try flashing WM6 to your phone and then install it. This way I know it will work.

Nice one, I'm using WM6.
I'll try this one this week.

First download totalcmd (another file browser)
Create a blank wav file.. call it notify.wav (sometimes notify.wma)
Use totalcmd to replace the one in the windows directory with the one you created..
It works with some versions of wm5 though, so good luck..
I finally got it to work using the blank wav method above. Took a while as I forgot to change the read only bit. Bizarrely I can't delete the original so currently have 2 versions according to some explorers but only 1 according to others. Either way a test proved that I no longer get the tone.
HURRAH
Fantastic stuff guys, this has been annoying the hell out of me for ages. It is the notification of how much credit left on the PAYG card from O2. Does my head in!
Disable SMS Sent Notification
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox
Click on Inbox (make sure the Inbox is highlighted) and select Edit, New Key
Name the New Key as "Settings"
Click on "Settings" (make sure the Settings is highlighted) and select Edit, New String Value
On "Value name:", key in SMSNoSentMsg and in "Value data", key in 1
Soft reset your device
What about notifications of the network?
There are some notifications (i.e. network messages) that still notify with a sound even when the device is on silent mode. Is there any workaround on this?
Great program! I was wrecking my brain trying to figure out how to disable the notification sound on my Htc Touch, none of the registry hacks worked for me.
Awesome app! I can't thank you enough for posting it--that noise was getting really irritating.
thanks dharvey for the application!!! it works great!! no more irritating notification!!! =)
Hi,
How can i replace the sound when message comes with an mp3 ? It only accepts midi i think.
Thanks
Put the tone in /windows/rings folder or root of storage card.
Buy an iPhone. Thats the only way for people like you.
If u r usin WM then copy .wav file in the windows folder and then change the notification sound from notifications.

The guy asked a question, don't be a such ****.
Message sounds can also be selected if the .WAV is stored in /Storage Card/My Documents too. This folder works for incoming call alerts and other alerts too (except Alarm tones, they have to be n /Windows for some reason!).
With my tones in my card's My Documents, and my .tsk homescreens in my card's root directory, no need to copy files after a ROM flash!

So let me guess - when you got your first HTC device you were a genius from the outset????? I think not Einstein, cut the person some slack and help - if you can that is!!! Otherwise, hold your tongue / fingers otherwise you may learn that there are others within these forums that can be equally smarmy!!!
To answer the question - you can look at asim.khans response, it is the same way that I managed to do this very thing.
Good luck.
thanks guys,
I'm sorry I couldnt reply instantly. I didnt know a wav file can be selected for a message ringtone. I wanted to select an mp3 file to be a message ringtone, I was just wondering maybe an application might change the settings and make it possible.
For the IPhone isseu, I dont think it's good for me because I love my HTC and I dont prefer iPhone, I used an iPhone for a couple days (I'm kinda nerd) and I prefer installing and uninstalling applications, trying new things, writing some little applications for my phone. It's the fun part, not playing with your fingers
Thanks for the replies

Hi guys,
Question for blackstone owners. Do you have a ring delay like there is on the diamond?
I mean how many times it rings before you really get the blackstone make a ring?
thanks,

1-2 times = ~ 4sec
I found it was worse when i used a custom ringtone or mp3 till someone suggested moving that ringtone to the ringtones folder or the phones inetrnal memory. since that time it's significantly improved

the ones you edit go into the folder you mentioned (i think).
what i did is move them to Windows/Rings this seems to make the phone find the file a lot faster
Two seconds now that my ringtune in the Ringtunes folder in windows
So, this is not really better

Hi Pierces Soul,
On my Diamond, my ringtones have always been in the windows\rings folder ...it doesn't change anything. People who are calling me hear 2 to 4 rings before I get one! ..and if the blackstone is not better...there is not reason to change for it...

I'm not familiar with the diamond and the blackstone is my first winmo device so i'm unsure if the issue is a winmo one or an htc one
not sure if anyones found a way to get it to ring any quicker
one thing i found out: if you leave your custom sound files in \my documents or \storage card\my documents, you can use them for notifications as well, such as announcing an incoming text message. this doesn't work if you put them in \my documents\my ringtones. i haven't tried \windows\rings...

take a look here, it should fix all your ring-delay problems:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258109
i suffered from the same problem, installed HD tweak, made a great difference. there is a delay only during the 1st call after a reset, but afterwards i can confirm the the phone even rings before the caller handset starts ringing.
Turning off the HTC phone dialer and using the standard WM6 dialer made the biggest difference for me. This can be done within HD tweek.

It also works for sms tones if you put the ring files in \windows.

Hi Adsar,
Of course there is workaround, but it is important to know if a device will work correctly out of the box. Also , changing the dialer will remove some charm of the device...
Drack
1 sec delay to go thru the tower and stuff, the same happens with my other friends' phones, so I consider it normal. I have heard the delay is longer when you get a call while using internet
tried the workarounds above... still like 2-3 seconds... but you should see the polaris... mmm... the other guy is nearly hanging up
Hi all, sorry if its been asked B4 but i cant seem to find a definite answer or solution. Thing is I cant find an option for my HD2 to play a sound when i send a txt message (just peace of mind that its been sent realy) All notifications are switched on and i get a sound when i recieve messages but nothing to confirm 'message sent'. Tried going to settings/all settings/sounds & notifications where there is the option for mms sent play sound (which i activated) the option for message doesnt offer anything for message sent tho.
Anyone have any ideas...i am using a uk stock rom that hasnt been flashed
cheers
The only solution is to upgrade to the latest ROM 3.14 which from memory does have support for message sent on sms.

thanx for that. Thought that may be the case.Was hoping there would be a way round this without flashing roms...pretty much new to this device and currently has the dreaded .51 radio, which i have heard/read can be the death of these phones if attempting to flash, so im kinda put off messing with new roms etc..
cheers
Hey mate did some more searching on this and found the solution for those on WWE1.66 rom. I upgraded the HTC messaging client and all is good now.
Goto this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6540684&postcount=30
and do exactly as he says. The link to that HTC messaging client is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676159&page=13
and use a reg editor to modify to 0 the below path:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\Messaging]
You can then go into menu/all settings/sounds and notifications/notifications tab
scroll down to event message:send succeeded and select play sound ticked and if you want display message on screen
Enjoy

Mate thanx so much for your input, I will give the above a blast later when im home from work.
one more question tho, can i dwnload a registry edit tool or is it already on the hd2 from stock, if no then is there any free or cheapo alternatives out there
thanx again
Hey no worries dude this is a great community. I use taskmanager as my reg-editor. Do a search for it It should be free..
From memory there are 3 htc sms clients. That one linked which works for me but lacks the new folder(secure box) for saving sms, one that has that secure box function inbuilt but is older version and has chinese character problem and then a totally newer client which was recently released. To be honest the version in the link above does the job for me and now plays a sound and shows a notification.
It's great you dont have to do a whole flash ROM upgrade and that you can upgrade individual programmes in this phone. Makes it a really amazing phone.

Ye i agree, at first it seemed a little intimidating thinking i had to flash roms etc to actually install 'cabs' and such to the device...But am learning as i go that this is not the case. Will continue to read, read ,read through the exellent threads on XDA and over time unlock the true potential of the device.
Thanx man, this is indeed a superb community Lookin forward to promoting myself from noob to ...err.. semi noob
